We all know I have issues, right? Good. Yesterday, I expressed frustration over the past crazy month and how my over-committing-motormouth caused life to get crazy which naturally means the house gets scary. Whenever the house starts spiraling out of control, my Slob Brain does this strange thing. As the panicky … [Read more...]
How to Package and Freeze Chicken Purchased in Bulk
Freezing chicken is a detail? Ummmm, yeah . . . it's a detail. A detail that stinks like nothing you've ever smelled if you don't tackle it when it needs to be tackled. Last weekend, while I was off gallivanting with college theatre pals, a friend picked up my Zaycon chicken and then hubby stuck it in the fridge. I had warned him to NOT put … [Read more...]
Decluttering the Kitchen Drawer
This drawer has been making me crazy. For a very . . . . long . . . . time. It's the drawer that makes me appear to be a neurotically over-zealous host. While in fact, I'm just neurotic. When a casual serve-yourself-from-the-stove guest asks where the forks are . . . and my husband accidentally tells them . . . . I find myself … [Read more...]

Spaghetti Pie – And a Challenge to Procrastinate on Doing Dishes
Recently, through My Blog Spark, I agreed to take Cascade Complete's 24 Hour Challenge. The challenge was to cook something especially messy, and then not do the dishes for 24 hours. Mmmmm, I can totally do that. I could go 48, or even 72 . . . and never break a sweat. They sent me this pretty white casserole dish in the picture. Ha! A … [Read more...]
Motivated by Falling Objects
Sometimes you weigh various factors when deciding which area to declutter next. Sometimes it just hits you over the head. (Almost) literally. I've been doing a decluttering/organization project most Thursdays. This morning, as I deflected falling cups and medicine bottles, I decided that this kitchen cabinet would be today's project. I … [Read more...]
Storing Favorite Recipes
Mmmmm . . . no. That's not a before picture. Oh. You thought . . . Because of the . . . . Well this is a little uncomfortable. Today I'm sharing an idea. One that works well for me. For my brain that tends to think I've found the Perfect Place to store something, but then can't remember where that Perfect Place … [Read more...]
